If you have a love the repurposing of old spaces, then this is the shopping/dining spot for you. The Can Company, located on Boston Street in Canton, is the epitome of cool and concientious re-lifing of old space. The building was originally an old aluminum and tin can production facility, it sat mostly vacant for years.

Listed on the EPA's Smart Growth website as a space that "Fosters Distintive/Attractive Communities with a Strong Sense ...

Spencer Horsman hanged himself fifty feet outside his new bar and escaped two straight jackets. All told it was probably good he hanged himself, because the restless mob was about ready to lynch someone when at 9:45 the promised 9:00 feat had yet to begin.

Spencer put on a great show once suspended. He squirmed with dramatic showmanship, as if desperate to get out of what he’d gotten himself into, ...

The Brewer's Art
1106 N. Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21201

Located in the heart of Mt Vernon, The Brewer's Art remains my favorite restaurant in Baltimore. The scene is eclectic, low lighting with constantly changing artwork decorating the walls. There are two bars located on the premises but the restaurant portion of the establishment remains quiet, romantic, and conducive to a nice night on the town. The menu ...

Recher Theater

Towson, MD 21204

Towson's main music venue is the Recher Theater, next door to the Rec Room which is a popular bar and pool hall for local college students. The theater tends to attract a younger crowd, high school and college kids mostly. Upcoming shows include Flyleaf, Godhead, Lennex, Cinder Road, and a Sublime Tribute band called Badfish. Occasionally you will get some ...

Any Baltimore local has been to the Papermoon Diner. Open 24 hours, this landmark of Charles Village features a funky conglomoration of food and decor.

The menu hosts items ranging from vegetarian friendly items such as spinach sandwiches and portobello nachos to hearty favorites like meatloaf and pigs in a blanket (breakfast is served all day). Even the pickiest eater in your party will find something to ...

"Do you know what that smoke's from?" my friend asked.
"No," I said, "But it's coming from right around where my house is."

I turned down Hanover Street. An old lady hustling the other way said "A car hit the bridge and exploded," but as I looked south I could see flames rising from the on-ramp. The next person said a tanker truck ...

I'm going to give this to you straight. The headlining act at this years Baltimore City Lit Festival, the author and photographer of Jewels: 50 Phenomenal Black Women over 50, will be real interesting. That's not why you should go. The talk on the Clarence Thomas biography and Kwame Alexander's new book of love poetry, those may be even better than the Jewels stuff, but they are not the reason ...

This weekend is the annual Towsontown Spring Festival. Features include live music, arts and crafts, fire and army trucks for the kids to sit on, beer gardens for the adults, and so much more. This is definitly a family oriented festival as opposed to some of the more young adult oriented festivals held downtown. Plenty of food from the traditional Maryland crabcake sandwiches to fun fair food ...

WTMD’s First Thursday festival, held the first Thursday of every month during the spring, summer and early fall, hosted Eva Castillo and Julian Velard this time around.

I’d never been before, so I didn’t know to expect such an amazing time. The crowd was dominated by hip twenty and thirty somethings, but older folk and tykes strolled and ...

Just south of the Harbor is one of Baltimore’s best local markets, Cross Street Market. Much of Cross Street is Noah’s arc style: two of everything. Two bakers, two produce stands, two meat and poultry stands, and two florists allow you to do a little leisurely comparison shopping. (If you’re looking for ...
